if – else… newbie-help

Hi,

please help me…
I cannot find the mistake.
I want to let wp show the footer only if it is NOT the startpage!

<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>

	+ D O  N O T H I N G +

<?php } else { ?>

	<div id="footer">
    <div class="container_16 wrapper">
        <?php dynamic_sidebar('footer-sidebar'); ?>
        <div class="clearfix"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="container_16 wrapper sub-footer">
        <div class="grid_8">
            <?php copyright_text(); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="grid_8">
            <?php footer_navigation(); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="clearfix"></div>
    </div>
</div>

<?php }?>
